To the Public:
If Bagwell, the Atlanta would-be mir
acle-worker Sn business education, Is
not a faker, I will resign my position
with the Southern Shorthand and Busi
ness University, give up my profession
and move to a distant land.
As Mr. Bagwell has commenced pro
claiming his absurdities again and try
ing to claim victory out of defeat in
his recent “Comedy of Error*,” I shall
have to give to the public my letter
to him, written In answer to his let
ter, und cut and dried contract, which
he handed to me EIGHTEEN HOURS
after the proposed students’ contest
was called off.
How He Dodged ths Contest.
I wish to call special attention to this
man’s cunningly devised scheme to
DODGE THE CONTEST:
First, WE WERE EACH TO DE
POSIT A $600 GUARANTEE BEFORE
ANYTHING ELSE SHOULD BE
DONE.
Second. WE WERE TO JOINTLY
DRAW UP THE CONTRACT AND
ARRANGE THE DETAILS.
WJIAT DID HE DO?
On Sunday, ho announced that his
$500 HAD BEEN DEPOSITED.
Monday I announced that HIS MONEY
HAD NOT BEEN DEPOSITED, and
that I HAD NOT .BEEN INVITED TO
ASSIST IN THE DRAWING UP OF
THE CONTRACT. On Tuesday morn
ing I repeated my announcement of
Monday, and yet I could hear nothing
from Mr. Bagwell.
After his prolonged silence of SEV-
ENTY-EIGHT HOURS, I called
farce off. and EIGHTEEN HOURS
AFTERWARDS, OR NINETY-SIX
HOURS FROM THE TIME OF MY
CHALLENGE, HE EMERGED FROM
HIS HIDING-PLACE, ami. handing
me his Ingenously drawn, SELF-CON
STRUCTED CONTRACT, said: "IF
YOU WILL SION MY PAPER, I WILL
DEPOSIT THE $500.”
If Mr. Bagwell had wnntcd a con
test, he would have called upon me
Immediately after reading my chal
lenge, instead of waiting FOUR DAYS,
and that, too, after the contest had been
declared off.
Further comment Is unnecessary.
The trickster has been trapped. My
letter follows:
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 27, 1907.
Mr. J. O. Bagwell,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
Referring to your letter and contract,
handed to mo in person by yourself
toda>. Wednesday, Nov. 27, at ten min
utes past 9 o'clock, Just eighteen hours
after my announcement In Tuesday
evening papers that the contest was
called off, I beg leave to refer you to
that announcement for the stand I shall
take In the future.
The public fully understands the sit
uation. You v/ore given the opportu
nity to enter Into a fair contest to prove
The Road To Disappointment.
the superiority or Inferiority of your
Chartler system, but your action In tho
matter has relegated It to the inferior
class.
Who coiild not make a brave show
ing when the enemy has retired? You
come from your hiding jdnee and claim
that you “killed the b’ar.” Be honest,
Mr. Bagwell, and come out squarely
and sny that you are afraid. Your at
tempt to fool the people is amusing.
You have adrolth' attempted to bring
the Bouthern Into the affair, when the
Southern has nothing to do with It.
Now, In conclusion, I reiterate my
statement In Tuesday’s papers: “I think
I have discovered n business school
faker and exposed his tricks, and now
I am done with hi nv forever.”
Yours truly,
L. W. ARNOLD.

SUCCESSFUL BID

the merits of your system, but you havi
wisely evaded such a contest. You
utterlv ignored the conditions of my
challenge, which were, first, that you
and I should IMMEDIATELY deposit
$500 each as a guarantee of good faith,
and. second, that the contract should
be drawn up Jointly. On Sunday. No
vember 24, after my challenge of Sat
urday. you ann»/inced that the $500
HAD BEEN deposited, and now, today,
November 27, you convict yourself of
a falsehood by your own statement In
the morning Constitution to the effect
that YOU WILL deposit $600 as soon
as I sign and return fo you the “Cut
anil Dried” contract of your own pro
duction.
Seventy-eight hours were given you
in which to make a deposit and accept
my challenge, but no tidings came from
Mr Bagwell, although I TWICE noti
fied you publicly that I was waiting.
Now after railing off the contest be
cause of your al#mce, you endeavor to
fool the people by coming out with
your SELF-CONSTRUCTED proposi
tion Too late. Mr. Bagwell, you have
lost the opportunity offered you fairly
and In good faith by your opponent. By
this opportunity you could have proved

f Dear Sir:

As a result of the ad which we placed in your paper
last Wednesday and Friday, announcing our holiday open
ing for Saturday, there.were crowded into our store
between the hours of four and nine o'cloolc p. m. at least
ten thousand people.
We can truthfully say that this is not exaggerated,
as those who saw the crowd stated that never before has
there been such a response to a fall opening as that
given us Saturday, the 30th. .
This we bonsider both an honor to ourselves and to
your paper, which, we believe, always brings the best
- results.
